Afterschool and holiday Childcare Needed


Recommended Posts

We are looking for someone to help look after our two children after school from September and a couple of days a week in the school holidays. The role would involve picking our 8 year old son up from school in East Dulwich and walking him home (20 mins walk) to the Forest Hill Road area or possibly spending some time in the park or library etc on the way. The hours are somewhat flexible but would usually be Mondays to Thursday 3.30 ? 6/7pm.


Our older daughter will make her own way home but will need someone at home from around 4.30/5 to make dinner, help with homework etc. If you were able to stay on for occasional babysitting that would be fantastic.


We are looking for someone who has experience with children, who is warm and fun but firm, and who is able to take them to the park and run around when necessary. In total we need around 10-15 hours of childcare a week, maybe more with babysitting. If you are interested in more of a housekeeper / live-out au pair role we could include some housework in that to increase the hours.


Please PM me if you're interested and we can discuss the details.

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
